“Shed”

On another note, I designed this postcard for AnimeNYC https://www.instagram.com/p/BpviEnsAtpQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6i8as51zy1l2

New song!  Happy to have the backlog released *huffs* 

...as a copyright minimalist, it really pisses me off that so few people in my corner bother to try and come up with very good solutions to "How do artists make a living."

Like… so many of them just fucking default to "use donation models supported by true fans uwu" and while that can work, even most of the top fucking eschelon of creators on Patreon are basically making poverty wages, and most people who make a living have to treat it as one of many income streams, because again, it's not fucking enough.

Not at the scale artists need, and the way some people in "my" corner ignore that to moralize while failing to come up with better solutions infuriates me.

Like, you'd be surprised that I could be called relatively conservative on my current demands wrt copyright reduction, specifically for reduction back to 56 years in the US (Life + 50 in the countries where applicable) and massive expansion of fair use.

This is because these are things that are doable now without fucking over artists.

I want more, but I am painfully aware that'd be a much bigger project because you'd need to overhaul so much about how we economically handle art as a society, and it pisses me off how nobody's looking for those solutions beyond platitudes!

I've seen a few decent ideas. A "Mario Kart" version of copyright, where the larger in scale a works' rightsholder is the less protection it gets, was suggested by one person, I'd say mutually-supporting collectives based around Creative Commons works (Think akin to the SCP Foundation) would be a good start, as would long-term income-y government art grants that require the stuff produced under them to go into the Public Domain.

Even beyond that, the Peer Production License is also a great way to open up your ideas as well without making them vulnerable to corporate exploitation, that's worth looking into.

But like, we need more of those, and it does piss me off that people supposedly in "my" corner call artists entitled babies for pointing out the problem here!

It's the big obstacle to actually getting shit done, stop calling artists fascist for wanting moral rights Patricia and come up with something that actually works!

When you’re on a golden sea you don’t need no memory just a place to call your own as we drift into the zone on an island in the sun we’ll be playing and havin’ fun and it makes me feel so fine I can’t control my brain we’ll run away together we’ll spend some time forever we’ll never feel bad anymore hey hey

My body is in so much pain. I don’t want to anymore. What do I do. The only reason I haven’t killed myself is because I pray my body will get better but it’s just so painful. I want anyone who cares about me or whatever to sort of just deal with it if I die. I have a treatment planned for late November. I hope it is successful, but I told myself I refuse to enter 2019 feeling this way. So no matter how successful my clothing or comics become, my happiness is my priority. I can’t keep feeling like a slave to my body. I just don’t want to anymore. I can’t think of type properly ‘cause I’m high as shit and falling in and out of sleep. I gotta design my banner for AnimeNYC though. Gotta get up :) lol I don’t even want to go go NYC anymore. My birthday is in a few days and I’m too sick to even enjoy some sake or any alcohol to celebrate 21. Life is pure shit right now. I made $600 in the first 3 days selling my art and lol I just don’t feel better. People, really, there’s something so wrong with my body. It hurts so much. I can’t do this anymore. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvW0mvgBPH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r0esmc7w1b9a

Swipe right —> to see event info and shirt pics (the shirts will be sold there!!)

Fin!Fang!Foom! on Spotify. Link to their music in Linktr.ee on my bio!

well anyway. the copyright system exists to commodify art and expression and process it into more money for larger companies, and it is actively detrimental to efforts for preservation, open education, and creation. everyone reading this is morally obligated to hoard and share data because we live in a world that is hostile to the idea that books or music or movies or scholarship have inherent value independent of a DRM stamp and ticket price. btw fuck hachette, harpercollins, wiley and penguin random house.
